Felix Auger-Aliassime upsets Basilashvili to reach Miami Open quarter-finals Globe_Sports
The 18-year-old from Montreal, who had to win two qualifying matches just to get into the ATP Tour Masters 1000 event, upset No. 17 seed Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia 7-6 , 6-4 in a fourth-round match on Tuesday.

But Auger-Aliassime battled back and converted his lone break-point opportunity of the first set to tie it at 6-6.
Auger-Aliassime broke Basilashvili twice in the second set, allowing him to win on serve in the final game.
